Definition of Anatomy
Form or structure of living matter First biological science
Major branches of Anatomy
Macroscopic:study the structure with the unaided eye Microscopic:some form of magnification Developmental:embryology Comparative:comparing different species and anatomies Systematic:anatomy of a system (physiology)
Median
Divides animal along its long axis into two equal parts (backbone)
Medial
Sections closest to median
Lateral
Section farthest away from median
Sagittal Plane
Parallel to median plane Mid sagittal:median plane
Transverse Plane
Perpendicular to medial
Cranial
Close to head
Caudal
Closer to lower body
Frontal plane
Dorsal-closest to long plane Ventral-Farthest from other stuff
Proximal vs distal of bone
Proximal:closest part of bone Distal:farthest part of bone
Superficial vs deep
Superficial:closer to surface Deeper:deep duh
Cortex vs Medulla
Cortex:outer region made of dense tissue Medulla:inner region made of sparse tissue
Prone vs Supine
Prone:long axis uppermost Supine:lying on back
